César Vallejo did the heroic against Sporting Cristal at the Mansiche stadium. The team coached by José Del Solar started the second half with two men less and with a 1-0 lead. The local team took care of the advantage and, due to the context of the game, managed to score the 2-0 from a counterattack and liquidated the Rimenses.

After the contest, ‘Chemo’ Del Solar detailed what happened on the ground in Trujillo. “There was nothing else to do. The logic was that, put together two lines of four and wait for them not to score a goal and the boys behaved at a great height and made a great effort “began the DT on the new approach to face without two elements.

Then, the coach of the “Poetas” added: “Trying to make a counterattack to try to do damage because it is very difficult to play with one less and two less, imagine what it is like for 50 minutes. You probably lose nine out of ten games that you play like that.”expressed the former coach of Peru.

Del Solar highlighted the defensive work of the squad and had a mention for goalkeeper Carlos Grados for his outstanding performance. “He closed all the roads and when they came to us we had a giant in the goal who took everything. The game was good in the first half.”indicated the coach of the Trujillo team.

At another time, the national DT revealed the dialogue with the referee for the expulsions. “I asked him why he expelled Garcés. I imagine he insulted him, but he replied that Renzo failed what he charged. So, I told him that’s why he can’t expel him. My complaint with the referee was about that. About Mena, I hear that the lineman tells him that he had hit a rival with his arm and I don’t see that ”he added.

In closing, ‘Chemo’ Del Solar believes that they took an important step to get into the fight for the title. “We have the hope of getting to the top of the table and today was a great opportunity. We have been able to beat the best team in our midst. Now we have to get ready to face Melgar”he concluded.
